Scottish Chamber Orchestra Season 2008/09 Mendelssohn 200: Summer Nights in Wintertime
Friday 16th January 2009, 7.30pm
City Halls : Grand Hall
Kate Royal has truly arrived as a new star of classical music: she’s as glamorous as she is talented, with a dramatic flair to match her voluptuous tone.
Berlioz’s ultra-Romantic song cycle is an ideal vehicle for her. It is surrounded by masterworks linked to Berlioz either by affinity – he deeply admired Mendelssohn’s Shakespearean overture – or nationality.
Saint-Saëns links the whole programme: he lived so long that he managed to be contemporary with all three other composers.
